McGowan, 26, made his big league debut with the Mets in 2017 and tallied 8 2/3 innings out of the team’s bullpen. In that time, he yielded five runs on the strength of eight hits (two homers) and five walks to go along with eight strikeouts. McGowan showed rather strong fly-ball tendencies both in his brief MLB tenure and in Triple-A Las Vegas last season, and he averaged 92.6 mph on his fastball in the Majors.

The former 13th-round pick (Mets, 2013) out of Division-II Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire has a career 4.19 ERA with 8.0 K/9 against 3.5 BB/9 in 66 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level. Because his contract was only just selected to the big league roster in 2017, he has multiple minor league options remaining in the event that another club wants to take a shot on him via the waiver wire. If not, he’ll be assigned outright back to Triple-A and vie for a spot with the big league club once again at some point in 2018.

AAA shuttle to MLB?? Yeah every teams, up to and including top contenders need guys that can come up and be serviceable. And be cut loose as well. Theo n Jed stack up about 4/5 every year. They may need 1 more. But I’d be willing to bet that he doesn’t slip through. And I can’t believe how old the Mets have gotten. I can’t see them
Having a very good year. There was a time when Cespedes would’ve benefited BIG TIME from having Agonz belaying behind him. With their starters it’s hard to watch their management waste all those talented arms. If they could sign just 2 good everyday ball players their whole season could be much different. Who knows, maybe they’ll catch lightning in a bottle!?!
